Don't take this as confirmation, as Betsy Braddock is still at least a full chapter away from being introduced, if she is introduced, so anything can change. But there has been a couple of ideas of Betsy remaining in her British version for the game and then her body swap happening off screen, so her Japanese version could appear in a sequel. But that's only an idea, one of many that were thrown about.
You can always discourage the quirks as they appear. And it's still early days yet. Rogue, for example, might not always remain as her goth self, instead evolving into the vivacious and boundless character we know from the comics.
Yeah, I understand that. My issue is that I want to engage in the kinky aspect of the quirk after overcoming the emotional damage that initially leads to it. Like, Rogue starts off desperate to surrender control of her life to Null, it goes on for a while, but eventually it comes to a head- and she and Null work through it together over the course of the game and she eventually becomes a bundle of southern sunshine. Afterwards, though, she still enjoys playing the submissive masochist when it comes to sex- it's just no longer defining or underlining her whole outlook on life. Just tryna figure out if the devs have plans for the quirks to ever be expressed in a healthy manner after character development, rather than just being turned on/off.
Afaik, Kurt has Amanda Sefton, Piotr will have his love interest/interests other than Kitty for obvious reasons, and TNH dev team are currently discussing whether getting Scott and Madelyne together or not if she's added to story.
Ye ye, I remember reading those. I was specifically asking about who else has MULTIPLE partners, because I also seem to remember reading that Null's harem/polycule setup isn't unique in the setting (given Earth-69's much more sex-positive attitude)- and I THINK I remember reading that Spidey was an example. Maybe I worded the question badly. Thanks, though.
With all due respect to the writers and whatever their preferences may be, this sounds like a worst-case scenario to me. I've never met another comic fan who actually liked "original" Betsy (or Kwannon as a separate character of her own for that matter) and I really think that most people would prefer to just see her as her most iconic and recognizable in pop culture self from the start. In addition, those who are familiar with the body swap story usually don't actually think it's even a good story (not to mention that in the context of modern politics there's now a stigma around it), is there some kind of value in either adapting or avoiding-but-having-to-later-acknowledge it that I'm not seeing?
Ill say it again, Oni's take on the matter its pretty functional.
I hate to encourage anything that makes people draw more similarities to RLE (unavoidable as it may be), partly because I actually fucking hate almost everything Oni has done in his game that makes it different from normal X-Men content or the Evo cartoon it was supposed to be based on (sorry fans of bitch-Jean, not sorry at all to fans of Gwen and Squirrel Girl - those two are the reason I stopped supporting on patreon and don't even play it anymore)
Honestly, even the few times I did read X-men as a kid/teenager, I completely missed that she's Asian. And like, I actually do speak Chinese and Japanese and did martial arts. Hell, I'm sitting in a 和室 (sans tatami though... Considering getting some). It blew my mind that anyone would take actually look at her in the comics and recognize her for being Asian. I'm still in the camp of "Don't bring it up and let the reader/player make up the head cannon for themselves." since these are fictional characters and it's all in our heads anyways. But I forget what Shiny and the devs ended up landing on for their approach.
Western comic art "house styles" are not known for facial detail, which can make determining race from that alone pretty vague. Psylocke is also meant to be a practitioner of Ninjutsu, not that only Japanese people can be ninjas... (her outfit might not reflect that if your cultural touchstone for such things is authentic, but it makes perfect sense if you compare her to contemporaries of the 80's and 90's like Elektra in Daredevil or Kitana and Mileena in Mortal Kombat II).
She was a cool ninja, just because you werent able to see it doesnt means the rest of us didnt believe that in the 90s, besides, the art for this game is much more detailed than the old comics, wich at best the details you could get were the covers.
Rogue is submissives and a bit of a masochist. Nothing entirely wrong with that. Flip side, would indeed be curious to see the flip side that. Hand cuffing us to the bed or chair and riding us till we are empty with the gals watching... Not that I'm against that.
That's kind of my point though. You believed it. You didn't need someone to go "LOOK! AZN! NINJA!" We all know who Psylocke is. We all know what she's suppose to be. Why say it?
Because in the process of getting to know each girl you're dating, they tell you about where they come from and their lives before the institute?
Man, i swear, every time youre difficult on purpose on this issue.
Right, how many of the love interests so far in game have told you so far their race? For example, what race is Laura? Because, last I checked, none. They say, in writing, less is more. Like you mentioned, Elektra isn't Japanese, but she learned martial arts. So with Psylocke, it could be, "I trained with X and Y in Japan as a child."
